Thanks Andrew.  I think I see what you are getting at.  But, I'll stay 
with k3b rather than learning something seemingly more difficult(grub).
I've got a folder in my /Home with the files I want to burn to the 
DVD-R. I'll uncompress the tar.bz2 and burn the iso files to that 
directory adding to it whatever else I want then try burn it all into 
one big iso. This seem to be what I was told to try so far.  One thing 
for sure I don't know is how to make an iso file. I haven't come across 
anything in k3b about making an iso file. Oh well, some more googling to do.
